Grad Card using a Freebie

I found a freebie digital stamp for a graduation card on a blog recently. I don't even know when or where I found it exactly -- I simply saved it to my computer for later use. Then today I decided to get started on some graduation cards. I came across a side-step card that I liked...and wanted to lift. The button was the perfect touch!!! :)

I'm not a big fan of black & white cards...(I like colours!!) but when it comes to graduation cards, it somehow works.   TFL :)

Rainy Day Scrapping

What are rainy days good for??? Curling up with a good book....or doing a project. The rain got me back into my scrap room to do some long overdue card making. I finished off a few cards that have been hanging over my head for a few weeks....it's nice to be caught up again! :)

Punching it Out

When it comes to cards, I love the simplicity. Neat. Everything having it's place. No elaborate cards...although those tend to come from time to time as well. :)

So here's the latest card I made. I've had these punched flowers and butterflies lying around since Christmas -- but couldn't come up with a use for them. When I saw the latest card sketch on the card lifters group I joined, this idea popped into my head. Perfect way to use punches! :) TFL

Adorable Little Onsie

When I say I've been wanting to make a onsie baby card for like FOREVER, I really mean it! I was browsing through galleries and saw these absolutely adorable baby cards, but never got around to making them! They've always been in my "to create" list...so today I FINALLY took the time.

Turns out I've been fearing it for no reason -- 'cause they are very easy to make! Plus, they are adorable, no matter what you do with them! Any ideas you come up with work! I like to keep them simple...figured a onsie is cute all by itself -- why try to make it stuffed with embellishments trying to make it cuter??? :p LOL One card quickly became two...and then three!!! I needed baby cards to send out, so why not?? TFL :)

 

The stamps are a Stampin' Up  stamp set.

Cancer Research Candy

Hi there! Just wanted to give a shout out to one of my blogger friends. She's decided to do a blog candy -- for charity!!!! An In Aid of Cancer Research UK to be exact. I've never seen a candy for charity, but it sounds amazing, doesn't it??? Head on over to her blog, and check it out!!! Good luck! :)

Spring & Flowers

Hi'ya all!! :) The weather outside is back to being glorious. [we had a major blizzard on the 1st of May!!!] brought back all kinds of thoughts on winter (evil thoughts!) But the sun is shining brightly again...and the snow is [almost] gone for good!!! :) Bring on the spring!!! :)

To keep with the season of spring, I've created a flowery card. :)

Actually it's my Mother's Day card for my wonderful mom. It's a few days early, but last minute card making is NEVER fun! And when the mojo flows...keep the creations coming! :)

TFL and have a blessed day! :)
